    This isn't exactly accurate, if you're thinking about spatial thinking versus kinesthetic thinking then there's much more to it than just words versus pictures. It also includes musically and mathematically thinking for instance.

    An easier way to know whether you think in "words" or "pictures" is to think about how you best learn something. If you prefer thinking abstractly about it, for instance reading it in a book then you think visually or in pictures. Whereas if you learn better with practical hands-on experience then you think in words or rather you're a kinesthetic thinking person.

    Right, you've obviously read the "different personality types" written by that one person, but I'm just seeing. How else could you think? In videos? I don't think so.

    I haven't actually read that specific book but yeah I've read some on this subject.

    Some autistic people see shapes rather than pictures, others think in numbers and others in feelings etc.

    I guess in pictures. Once I did an IQ test, which also classified you. I ended up as a visual mathematician. I learn by seeing patterns.

    I like to think in both words and pictures. A picture is worth a thousand words, as they say.

    Well, yeah, a picture may need some describing to actually understand it. It's just kind of weird to think that someone thinks different than you...

    I think, according to Seph's first post in this thread, that means you think in words...
